* "Is the box at the top just an image, or is it an interactive map? If you could mouse over or click on a region, and then get to the region-specific pages associated with it, that would be pretty intuitive."

* "Also, any kind of regional data, similar to the blogposts that lewk does at the EOL of the various Fedoras, with the heatmaps of downloads, and region-specific metrics would be kinda interesting." (Remy DeCausemaker, http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/ambassadors/2010-July/015019.html)

* "I have some questions about the way the regions are split up on the page. Why not keep the groups of countries (continents) in the structure that we regularily use when talking about Ambassador regions? That being APAC, EMEA, LATAM, NA. For example in your mockup Europe and Africa & Middle East are seperate. The americas comprise of NA and LATAM. I do understand that splitting them up by continent makes sense too, but it would be more coherent with our existing structures IMO."

* "I would suggest a different order of those region buttons. They seem very confusing to me presently. I would expect them in the same order as the regions are in the map above. That means “Americas -> Europe -> Africa -> Asia”. Maybe Africa and Europe swapped, that doesn’t matter, even though the first order is more expected by visitors. I don’t want to have them sorted by “importance” or whatnot. But the order should follow some pattern (and I haven’t found one in current order). Button order following map order seem reasonable (and intuitive) for me." (Kamil Páral, http://mairin.wordpress.com/2010/07/19/fedoracommunity-org-website-design/#comment-6270)

A few design decisions have been made throughout this process that you might want to be aware of:

Both national flags and national borders can, in a few cases, be quite controversial and stir up hard feelings so we did our best to avoid them in the design.

(The countries have been split up by continent because there are quite a lot to list on one page, and the continent to which a country belongs nor the shape of the continents of the world are not so controversial.
